recently...

lately things havent been going so well. the move from a third to a second cat has left me stuck looking for minor points in races which i suppose is to be expected as the standard of racing has dramatically increased aswell, however a recent backinjury from climbing (rocks not hills) has forced some well needed rest and hopefully ill be back to full form in august preparing for the hillclimb and cyclocross season. my aim this year is a top 5 in the national under 23 cyclocross champs. 11th in the bob swailes memorial trophy due to winning the bunch sprint gave me a few points, however the not so lumpy road race which uses the bashall eaves course i finished 30th, almost half the field pulled out of the hilly 75 mile race. the rest of my season is filled with grass track and road racing so ill make an effort to keep more up to date with progress and results. its off to the north east next weekend to do the mike binks memorial, which has in the past been won by the likes of chris newton and the downing brothers. so a strong field is expected for the hilly 80 mile race.
